Mrs. Bing: Oh, you watched the show! What'd you think?

Chandler: Well, I think you need tocome out of your shelljust a little.

Ross: What is this dive? Only you could've picked this place.

Mrs. Bing: Oooh, c'mon, shut up, it's fun. Gimme a hug. Well, I think we're ready for some tequila.

Chandler: I know I am.

Mrs. Bing: Who's doing shots? 

Monica: Yeah.

Phoebe: I'm in.

Mrs. Bing: There y'go. Ross?

Ross: Uh, I'm not really a shot drinking kinda guy.

Rachel: Hi! Sorry- sorry we're late, we, uh, kinda just, y'know,lost track of time.

Ross: ...But a man can change.

Ross: Anyone want me to appraise anything?

Rachel: Mrs. Bing, I have to tell you, I've read everything you've ever written. No, I mean it! I mean, when I readEuphoria at Midnight, all I wanted to do was become a writer.

Mrs. Bing: Oh, please, honey, listen, if I can do it, anybody can. You just start with half a dozen European cities,throw inthirty euphemisms for male genitalia, and bam! You have got yourself a book.

Chandler: Myyy mother, ladies and gentlemen.

Mrs. Bing: Yeah, any messages for room 226?

Mrs. Bing: You okay, slugger?

Ross: Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Mrs. Bing: What is with you tonight?

Ross: Nothing. Nothing nothing nothing.

Mrs. Bing: Okay, thank you. It's the Italian Hand-Licker, isn't it?

Ross: No. It's the one he's licking.

Mrs. Bing: She's supposed to be with you.

Ross: You're good.

Mrs. Bing: Oh, Ross, listen to me. I have sold a hundred million copies of my books, and y'know why?

Ross: The girl on the cover with her nipples showing?

Mrs. Bing: No. Because I know how to write men that women fall in love with. Believe me, I cannot sell a Paolo. People will not turn three hundred twenty-five pages for a Paolo. C'mon, the guy's a secondary character, just a, y'know, complication you eventuallykill off.

Ross: When?

Mrs. Bing: He's not a hero. You know who our hero is.

Ross: The guy on the cover with his nipples showing?

Mrs. Bing: No, it's you!

Ross: Please.

Mrs. Bing: No, really, c'mon. You're smart, you're sexy...

Ross: Uh. Right.

Mrs. Bing: Get out. You are gonna be fine, believe me.

Ross: Uh-oh...

Joey: Uhhhh... I'll just pee in the street.
